On Thursday, Nickelodeon announced a new Avatar show called Avatar: Seven Havens, set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The show is created (and co-executive produced) by Avatar co-creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. And, luckily, we’re going to be getting a lot of it: The show has already been picked up for 26 episodes. Like The Legend of Korra, those will be split into two 13-episode seasons. (So far those are just titled Book 1 and Book 2.)
Avatar: Seven Havens is set in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. A young Earthbender discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra – but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity’s destroyer, not its savior. Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization’s last strongholds collapse.
Considering the state Korra left the world in by integrating the spirit world and the main one, there are a lot of interesting places for Seven Havens to go. And Konietzko and DiMartino are excited to take it there across two seasons.
“When we created the original series, we never imagined we’d still be expanding the world decades later,” DiMartino and Konietzko said in a statement. “This new incarnation of the Avatarverse is full of fantasy, mystery, and a whole new cast of amazing characters.”
